New Badminton Centre, Richmond BC

We are pleased to officially let everyone know of the opening of RichmondPro Badminton Centre. We estimate the opening to be the first week of July. Our signange is now up so if you're driving by, you'll see it.

This dedicated badminton facility will have 15 pro courts as well as a gym room, shower and locker facilities, pro shop, snack bar and spacious waiting area. It is centrally located with ample parking.

Open 7 days a week (except certain public holidays), drop-in, court rentals and coaching/lessons will be offered.

Congratulations to all those involved in the new RichmondPRO Badminton Center! It's hard enough to get started in the first place. Best of luck with the business side of things! We could always use more quality drop-in places.

Thanks for all the response and well wishes. To answer some questions:
1) Rates: court rental is $16/hr. We'll be having some good intro deals so keep your eyes peeled.
2) Hours: we're planning to be opened 9 am - 11 pm. Some tweaking might be needed depending on daily response.
3) Coaches: a few of them are Yao Ming, Kiran Kumar, Alvin Lau, Chris Lee, Harry Pan. There will be a bunch of assistants there too.
4) Update: some of the courts are being layed down this week, most of the lights are in place. The inside looks very.... green hehe
5) Pics: a few will be coming soon after the inital set of courts are layed down.
6) Out-of-towners: make sure you let us know when you're in town. Always nice to meet fellow bc'ers

I wonder if anyone has cracked any "Yo" jokes (visa commercial) with this guy.
